Transcript
- Byron: I tried watch some of it in between the epic ⁓ games that were on and that is the Women's Six Nations. Chad: I watch the single game. I am nervous being it. See. Byron: Well, what is crazy out of the last 10 games, last 10 competitions, England have won eight, France have won two. So it's definitely not as close as the Six Nations was this year for the men's game. Chad: I mean, yeah, that was just, that was different. Byron: But I do have some cool, I guess you could call them progress stats from the women's six nations. If you can indulge me for a second. All right, so I'll just go over the results quickly. Scotland beat Wales in Wales 24 19, England beat Ireland 33 12, no shock there, France beat Italy 47. No shock as far as the results go. Yes. Chad: Hit me. I love a good stat. Oh, 47. OK, I was waiting for 47 something. Just. Yeah. Shame. Byron: Just a good old round number. ⁓ But what I do think is cool coming from this Six Nations is Wales played at the Principality Stadium, the women's Welsh team, as the headlining squad. They have played before as a curtain raiser, but they played at the Principality. That was the game to go watch. We know that... ⁓ England have played at Twickenham before because ⁓ no one can beat the female England side. But the other two major wins is this season in this competition. Scotland will play at Murrayfield for the first time. Chad: What? That blows my mind that I haven't played there before. Byron: Right? And then Ireland will play at the Aviva for the first time. Chad: No, they haven't played it either? Byron: They've played as a curtain raiser, never as the headlining game. Chad: That is wild. Byron: And what I think is cool is I think the Ireland game is the final, the game at the Aviva is the final week of the competition. They were talking about it over the weekend. There's already 20,000 tickets sold ⁓ and climbing. And I was like, that should be the case and they should play at those stadiums. So major shout out to ⁓ the female, the women's Six Nations, big ups to the stadiums for letting them headline there, because that's the way it should be. And I guess you can call this major progress for the women's game. Chad: Yeah, I wonder if it blows my mind that they haven't played at those stadiums before though. That's what's caught me the most off guard. I wonder if that's come off of the great red wheel cup that they had. Byron: must be because that the the women's world cup was a major success. Chad: Mmm. Yeah, no, was unreal. I would go watch more woman drag beef if it was... Byron: There's going on now as well it's ⁓ what's it called the pacific four women's rugby Yeah, Pacific Four series, which is interesting. I guess we can go over these because it will be super quick. It's USA, New Zealand, Canada, Australia. ⁓ I believe England's number one, Canada's number two, and New Zealand's number three when it comes to the world ranking. ⁓ Chad: That seems... Is it? I've got to check. I thought New Zealand would have been number two. Byron: No, I think Canada's too. But the results were New Zealand beat the US 48-15 and Canada beat Australia 24-0. But yeah, so that's going on now. Chad: I hate that you've been right this entire podcast and I've just been wrong about almost everything. Byron: Chad, sometimes I'm right. It's very, very rare, but when I am, I'm not too bad. Chad: I have Yeah.
